Thank you to Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology for the opportunity to present my PhD work on the big stage today in the New Investigator session! ✨ So special to speak alongside Amanda Chen and @habeljen who’ve I’ve been lucky to complete my PhD with in the Parkville Precinct ✨ #ASI2022MEL

We're super excited to announce the lineup of the 2023 Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology mucosal Immunology seminar series in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. First up is DM talking about T cell responses to food on Fri, Jan 20th AEDT. Register here: immunology.org.au/events/2023-Mu…

Excited to share ou paper in Cancer Cell today where we showed that TRM present in the lungs of smokers before tumour onset accelerates the initiation of immune escape mechanisms. WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) Clare Weeden Lung Foundation Australia

But most importantly thank you to my supervisors: GrayLab for putting up with my T cell naivety and my mentor Marie-Liesse Labat for her indefatigable drive and unwavering support💐🌻🌸🌺

Beautiful cover by Amy Manson illustrating our work in this issue of Cancer Cell where we showed that lung tissue resident memory T cells present in the lung of smokers before tumour onset accelerate tumour immune evasion. WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) Clare Weeden #lungcancer

👀 at this new Nature Immunology paper from Stephen Nutt and Julie Tellier WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) unraveling the diversity and function of tissue resident plasma cells 🤩nature.com/articles/s4159…

Well done Thomas Savage and Arpaia Lab, massive congrats and what a fantastic study. So nice to see it out!

Great to see this study out in print Immunity. Oliver and Adrian Liston show that tissue resident Tregs residing in diverse non-lymphoid tissues show shared phenotypes, transient residency, and common molecular dependencies. Congrats Oliver and Adrian!! cell.com/immunity/fullt…
